From the Manchester Guardian. The Indian office, no less than the government at Calcutta, 13 exercised a good deal at present about the affairs of the King of Oude, who died re- cently at Calcutta, He and the members of his family had about 5,000 servants, many of whom had their families with them, so that about 10,000 persons were in one capacity or another resident about his palace and dependent on Lim. How to provide for all these was tbe problem. The government has devised a scale of gratul- es for such of the King’s servants as will agree to return to Lucknow, and further, a free passage 1s to be given them, Bilt the owners of these huts in which many of ‘these people live Will not relinquish them, and it looks as if they will | have to be bought out also.

She attained her ma. jority a iuttle over a year ago, and then assumed control of the property, which brought in an in. come of about $5,000." She took a trip to Highlana Springs, and there “a lively widow persuaded her that she ought wo become a widow herself in order to enjoy the social freedom that al unmarried woman can ever hope to gain, Fuil of the project, she returned to Oakland and formed the accuaihtance of Capt, and Mra K- AM. Apgar. To them she confided her longing’ for ‘social emancipation. She declared she was bound ‘to become a widow, and thought if she could marry some man who was on his death-bed it would be bout the right thing. Apgar agreed that if she Was deiermined to marry, and for the pi stated, It would be advisabie to have the th settled with as little publicity as possible, He at cordingly introduced this peculfar young woman to Dr, bupuy, who had conducted an imitation milk factory in this city. Dr. Dupuy declared that he new of just the man to suit Miss Brown’s wish in the person of a inter, named Frank McKee, who hal ‘a. autiful case of consumption, and who could not ae, live more than a month, Miss Brown thought that she had found just the man that she wanted, and agreed to I subject. On the following day she and Apgar went to the office of Dr. Dupuy, in unis city, where the medical man exhibited his consumptive. Miss Brown looked him over with a critical eye, ‘thumped his chest vigorously, and: made him cough several times for the purpose of ascertaining if ‘the investment was a safe one. She finally con- cluded that she would take the chances of his living. McKee consented to marry the girl for a money consideration, ‘The pair "were “wedded by Justice Wood. They did not depart to. gether. It had been agreed that, the husbacd suouid go and die by himself. ‘The wife gave him $100 before the ceremony’ took place; agreed to pay Dr. Dupuy $100 with which to de- fray the expenses of a comfortable deathbed for her husband. McKee failed to keep his promise, however, and strangely insisted on living. In tact, he grew alarmingly healthy. He met his wite & few months after and got some money from her. Dupuy received a liberal charged that Apgar got a fee. Finally, Mra. Mo- Kee refused to be bied any more, and departed tor the East. ‘The story leaked out, and created a. great sensation in Oakland. McKee followed her folndlana, but she refused to see, him. ‘she then parted for Europe, and 18 said to be in Carlsbad. Another curious feature of the affair 18 that Apgar died on the same day as McKee, at the g Parting with the Bottle. A MEMORY OF TOM MARSHALL NEVER FORGOTTEN BY PROBIBITIONISTS. From the New York Sun, ‘A Congressional abstinence soctety was formed and Marshall swore off drinking. He made a speech before the society which is most eloquent temperance effort ever delivered in the Congressional halls.
